But I brought it to Red Hawk's attention and told them where to find it. It was 133.5, Bub's masterpiece corner.

Incidentally, much as I am happy that this forgotten omake is making its way into English, this probably also means they will take longer to release our weekly fix of Beelzebub. The raw scans for chapter 162 came out today, and I was hopeful this time we might get a Wednesday release since the translator has caught up with Magico and presumably has more time to devote to Beelzebub. But with the extra omake, I think we are looking at a Thursday release. Oh well.

Re: Extras from Manga Volumes

By the last Omake we get i question my self. This is something for the follower from the begining or early Days. Was there any Bonus Story release by Keishu in the early Days?? I got soem Bonus Storys in the german Volumen but cant even remember if Keishu release these ones or also Ieat. In there release times.

Re: Extras from Manga Volumes

I was pretty sure that Beelzebub's masterpiece omake was translated before too. I think we should make a list of all the omake that have appeared so far. There was one that appeared in the latest issue of Jump NEXT, but alas, we have no raws to go by.

This omake (Furuichi's canned fish dinner) that just came out was published on September 2011. Not that it matters, but its interesting to know.

Re: Extras from Manga Volumes

Thank you kendama for the list! Its pleasantly surprising to see Beelzebub have so many omake even though its quite a light-hearted series. I think it fleshes out the series nicely, hopefully we'll get a special volume of just omake chapters.

Ah, the canned fish omake was released by a Chinese scanlation group the same time chapter 141 came out. Their scans are really good, so maybe...? The omake itself was only published in September, so there's no way Keishou Scans had it before then.

Yes, its been scanlated into Chinese here. It's almost a full-length chapter (and really funny). There's also Tamura's friend who wrote a mini-story on Rice Boy.

Re: Volume Extras + Omake

72.5 was a special for WSJ and i could remember i read it. 47.5 i never saw or read in a englisch version or somewhere befor,i saw it the first time in my volumen. Sayuki parody is out from RH. For me also the red tail meeting must be something i had missed. Beels masterpiece RH, same for 153.5 and 145.5. But for 75.5 and 47.5 i´m not sure if i ever see raws or scans about it.

Well, you know the drill by now: if you succeeded in bringing 162.5 to their attention, you might as well succeed in doing the same with this one. And if you do it before Wednesday, we may get the translation before this week's chapter, or at least the load of work for Mr Triplicate (the translator) will be distributed over the week instead of concentrated over 24 hours. Even if you don't have the raw scans, showing them the Chinese scanlation (as I did with 133.5) is likely to suffice in getting them to track down the raws and get to business. After all, it is a shame that all Beelzebub material has made its way into the sinosphere but not the anglosphere, and it is up to us die-hard fans to correct this situation!

(You may wonder why I don't do it myself. It so happens that the person I used to contact at Red Hawk Scans has retired. I did it by PMs via Mangafox, and I am not registered at Red Hawk, so I cannot contact Takadanama. Why I don't register there? Well, since I like to discuss aspects of the translation - normally in a complimentary way, but still -, I think it better to keep an impartial distance from the scanlation group. It's an idiosyncrasy I've developed over time.)

Re: Volume Extras + Omake

Landed a copy of Volume 17. Written in the cover : "Zen and Ishiyama was here!" This tankobon covers chapter 144-152. Sorry I couldn't post any images because I don't have a scan, but I'll give you some previews.

Tamura's note on the cover:

Quote:

今回は修学旅行がメインのお話。行き先は沖縄。取材とか行きたかったけど時間的に無理でした。それでも見事に現地を再現してくれたスタッフに感謝。

In brief : this time it is the story about school trip and the destination is Okinawa. Unfortunately I could not do any interview because I don't have enough time. Thank you for the staff that makes me able to convey the local situation perfectly.

Q and A 1 : From which side of parents Oga and Oga's sister got strong power genes? It seems that their father and mother are not really that strong. Answer : Oga's father specialization in battle is his prostate power.

Q and A 2 : Furuichi's birthday is on 11th November (11-11), which is full of "1". (Full (furu in japanese katakana) of ichi (one)). Is that where his surname comes up? Answer : That's right. I'm happy that someone is aware about it.

Q and A 3 : How long is Himekawa's pompadour? Answer : It varies on which day. On special day, usually the length is 47.9 cm

Q and A 4 : Why "Good Night" Shimokawa writes his name as "Good Nait"? Is there any special meaning behind it? Answer : So there will be any objection when he is defeated. (I'm kinda lost here, somebody help?)

Q and A 5 : Aoi is the leader, right? Did she become a leader since Junior High School? Answer : That's right. She is a leader type.

Q and A 6 : Miki's surname is not changed even though he comes from a divorced family. Is his father come from same family ? (Kinda lost... again.) Answer : Exactly.

Q and A 7 : Red Tail first head... Misaki Oga. Third head... Aoi Kunieda. Fourth head... Nene Omori. Who is the second head? Answer : Just Wait! I'll think about it.

Oh.. also, when Oga's introduce himself on this page, he refers himself as "Tonura" and Beel as "Midolas". I don't know if "Nimzo" and "Madason" are caused by localization of Dragon Quest or differences between Weekly RAW and Tankobon ver.

Re: Volume Extras + Omake

Thank you Doraku! This is awesome, and I'm so glad Tamura's doing little mini interview again. I'll post my thoughts on the Q&A a bit later, but thank you so much for posting the text!

I looked it up, and indeed Dragon Quest 5 had its names localized when it came out in English. So probably the translator stuck to the American names because that's what we're more familiar with (and that's what it says on the DQ5 wikia). Its still a funny joke, that Oga gave himself the name of the hero and Beel the name of the villain.

Very very rough translations, pardon the inaccuracies.

Q and A 2 : Furuichi's birthday is on 11th November (11-11), which is full of "1". (Full (furu in japanese katakana) of ichi (one)). Is that where his surname comes up? Answer : That's right. I'm happy that someone is aware about it.

This Question is really amazing, it show to me, that Fans really recognize so much things. I not sure someone notice the wordplay befor. Who ever tought that Furichi ist the true Number one in this Manga. XD

Q and A 3 : How long is Himekawa's pompadour? Answer : It varies on which day. On special day, usually the length is 47.9 cm

Its always the Size Question, are Hair length from never cutting hair since born, its a bit quiet short. That must some exklusiv Barber Himekawa visiting.

Q and A 4 : Why "Good Night" Shimokawa writes his name as "Good Nait"? Is there any special meaning behind it? Answer : So there will be any objection when he is defeated. (I'm kinda lost here, somebody help?)

And i was so sure about it, that Shimokawa was so bad in englisch that he wrote everything wrong. That would be more Ishiyama style, wanna be the american Type when u never could speak it right. (I will look if i find a Chapter about it)

Q and A 7 : Red Tail first head... Misaki Oga. Third head... Aoi Kunieda. Fourth head... Nene Omori. Who is the second head? Answer : Just Wait! I'll think about it.

This Question comes up so many Times and so far there is no answer. So far there is no Person in this Manga who can it be.

Oh.. also, when Oga's introduce himself on this page, he refers himself as "Tonura" and Beel as "Midolas". I don't know if "Nimzo" and "Madason" are caused by localization of Dragon Quest or differences between Weekly RAW and Tankobon ver.

Maybe this a problem about license reason, using some names from games without they permitted and tankobon have some problem with it.

Its good you so now The Question and Answer part, so i must only look about the Character part, wondering there is nothing inside this Volume.

Tamura note from Volumen 11:
I was wondering, how my assistance and me could work on the chapters, while the power-saving measures and the consequent Power-cut. At least we could managed it better, as i thought first. My Assistance and me drawing with the lighter in the mouth, like you see in the picture above.(rabbit Head with a lighter in the Mouth in front a plotting board) I can count on my crew.

Re: Volume Extras + Omake

Bad translation : Things which are necessary during Name making. Mechanical pencil, rubber eraser, scissors, tape, and ear pick. I also cannot work when my surrounding is silence, and yes, the ear pick is really important.

Omake : Furuichi hit by the skateboard, Touhoushinki watching Oga's fight with Aiba, zoom of Beel's chinko, Beel screaming "Dah" but I cannot understand the context, En and his nannies after the hero show, Kanzaki, Himekawa, and Oga making vulgar words on the wall as pictured in the Saint Marx lead color page, Misaki meets the fainted delivery guy from the demon world.
